A brief welcome was provided by Marty Bovee of the St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Cathedral on behalf of Fr. Andrew Deskevitch, who was unable to participate this year.
Fr. Dan D'Antonio of the St. Thomas the Apostle Parish read a scripture passage and gave an uplifting meditation.

It is with a heavy heart that we must celebrate our annual Holiday Memorial Service virtually this year, as the COVID pandemic continues. It is our hope that this virtual celebration of life will bring some small measure of comfort to those we have served, and we look forward to gathering again in the coming year. May you all have a "Merry Christmas," and find peace in the New Year.
